"I felt compelled to try all three courses, starting with the deep-fried brie, which was simply amazing! Next, I opted for the mushroom and asparagus risotto, and it was the best risotto I've ever had! I also ordered some cheesy garlic ciabatta and skin-on fries, but I could hardly eat much of the sides since the main course was so generous. Now, onto dessert. I found it hard to resist the urge to come back again and again just to sample more desserts. I settled on the cornflake tart with custard, and I was definitely not disappointed with my choice. It was absolutely the best meal I’ve had in a long time, and I will certainly be returning soon to explore more of the menu!"

We went there this evening with a couple of friends, and both my friend and I ordered the 8oz rump steak, while my husband had a 16oz rump steak and our other friend chose the 10oz gammon. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals—the steak was amazing! We will definitely be returning and I highly recommend this place. 10/10!

The food was exceptional and beautifully presented. They offer a large selection of beers, a good variety of wines, and an impressive range of gins. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning, with several cozy, open-plan rooms that are full of character. It feels like a family-run pub, with parents and stepdaughters managing the front of the house and a talented chef son in the kitchen. They also host grill nights on certain weeks, and the view of the expansive gardens is simply breathtaking. I highly recommend visiting this place, and you can reserve a table for dining.

"we enjoyed another very pleasant dinner at the Dog’ in pentrich recently. it is a very civilized but relaxed escaping area, and the type of place where people are miles for, for the culinary experience traveling and with good ground. eating is good. the dining room is spacious, contemporary and beautifully furnished with a relaxed ambiente. also the adjacent bar area is very cozy and cozy. we were warmly welcomed and immediately shown on our table. the service was attentive and pleasant, without being overlaid or intrusive. our meals were very pleasant and we enjoyed the selection of things we had (start, head and dessert). However, it seemed to be some unconsistencies with a portion size. with the appetizers the leek and the potato portion was very small a piece laek about two centimeters long filled with cheese and in a sea of sauce to convey the grasp of “more”. the crispy szechuan cauliflower and aubergine, on the other hand, contained large parts of the two components of the teller. similar to the net, the green thai chicken contained three very large portions of huh in different shapes: a large chicken breast as the main component of the Thai chicken shell, accompanied by a huge serving of shredded chicken in rice, and a huge Bao beer filled with a large piece of baked chicken. while the various components were delicious, it was just chicken overload, almost like three main dishes as one, and much too much. the same applies to the puddings we have chosen. the dog inn trifle was a huge bowl with lemon-rossel sponge, with white chocolate-creuzard, and celestial gel and sorbet. the yorkshire rhubarb cheesecake, on the other hand, was a very small roll of cheesecake with a puppy game of rhubarb sorbet and a few pieces of poached rhubarb. our meals were certainly delicious, and we enjoyed them. the hanger steak was cooked nicely after a discussion about it; it was clearly stated on the menu that the hanger steak was ‘Served ‘Pink or well Done’, but we were informed that it could not be ordered well. which condition is then on the menu? the dog is worth looking. it is in the beautiful and historical village pentrich, on the b1016 between the towns ripley and alfreton in derbyshire. we're coming back."
